For hands, there are a few different things I'll do depending on the difficulty

tldr;
step 1: figure out what pose/purpose you want for the hand
step 2: draw the general idea of the hand in the place you want it
step 3: make it look like a hand



But first things first is deciding what pose the hand will be in - having a more active looking hand adds a lot more life to your work especially when the pose for the main figure itself isn't super active
-usually I try to express more personality with the hand, so the hand interacting with something like an object or the main figure's body in some way is preferable if possible




I will then just draw the general shape and pose that I want in the place I want the hand, usually drawn before the arm itself is drawn
(if you draw the hand first, you can attach the arm later - usually regardless of where the hand is placed you can always find a way to attach the arm, plus this can help with a more dynamic pose of the arm and hand too since this usually stops the pose from being a straight arm with a hand at rest near your leg or straight out pointing if the arm is held 90 degrees)
-I usually draw the palm first before the fingers, depending on how difficult the pose is the fingers might start as just lines for now till I figure out the shape of a finger



Quick tip:
-take a picture of yourself for reference
-note the specific notable parts of the hands(for me that is the knuckles, the meat of the hand, and the fingers)

Dusting off this old thread and this even older events pinglist that has never been used before to my knowledge-

Hello, members of the art club! It's about time we finally did an event or something! Let's start off small. What does everyone think of creating a pair of mascots for this place? Could be fun, could brighten up our thread a bit, could finally fill in that one mascot post that's been sitting there forever.

This is by no means the event announcement, rather more of an interest check - reply if you'd be willing to participate in this, be it by submitting a mascot or by voting when the time comes around. If enough people want this to happen, I'll schedule a date for it to happen :>

I'd be down to join! Would the mascots be Sylestia pet designs or original artwork designs though?

It'll be pet designs! We can consider original work designs in the future, maybe.
